I'm not from NY but have been to 5 games in NY to see the Dodgers play. I went to 3 games this past summer. Got to see LA sweep. But when there I saw a lot of Dodger fans. Talked to one girl who was from Booklyn and she was a Dodgers fan. There are still a lot of fans there. Most of them either had a grandfather or father who was a Brooklyn Dodgers fan.

It's been 55 years since the Dodgers moved to LA. It would be really hard to continue the root root for the Dodgers from the Dodgers fans back from the Brooklyn days. Let's just say those 10 year olds when the Dodgers was on its final year in Brooklyn is now 65 years old. Convincing their kids, grandkids to root for the LA Dodgers must have been tough, especially with the Yanks.

However, there are bunch of Dodgers fan in general, especially on the southwest region of the country. I love watching away games and see out of town/state Dodgers fans.

I am a Dodger fan not from Brooklyn but Jersey City NJ where the Dodgers played eight games in both 1956 and 1957.There was much anger and hatred for O'malley and the Dodgers when they left Brooklyn. How would LA fans now if the Dodgers left for Maine ? It was worse then because there was no satellite tv nor internet to keep you connected and east coast papers had no west coast news in the am. I am a rarity who as a child cried for days when they left and remained loyal to them.

My dad is from missouri, (i know, not brooklyn) but when he was a child he grew up being a HUGE brooklyn dodgers fan and a HUGE minneapolis laker fan because his dad followed those teams too. Me, i now live in LA county and a HUGE laker and dodger fan too, but it's not because i grew up here, it's because it's in my blood and has been for years.

I'm one of those old folks who is still a Dodger fan. I'm 66 years old and have been a Dodger fan since 1956. Use to watch Happy Felton's Knot hole gang, the Dodger pregame show, and fell in love with Vin Scully as soon as I first heard him. Actually he grew up on Haven Ave. in the Washington Heights part of Manhattan, right around the corner from where I lived. I met him once in 1973 at Candlestick Park and he was amazingly nice. He grew up a Giants Fan, a big Mel Ott fan, probably because the Giants were the closest team, playing at the Polo Grounds to Washington Heights. Yankee stadium was across Harlem river from the Polo Grounds but no one with any heart would be a Yankee fan. WOR-TV channel 9 was the broadcasting channel. They once had a relief pitcher named Renee Valdez, whose nickname was "the whip". LOve the memories.

When my Grandfather moved my Grandmother and Dad out to Manhattan in the late 40's from Puerto Rico, they instantly became Brooklyn Dodger fans. They could have easily been Yankee fans but my dad said there was something special about the "Bums" that he loved. My grandmother was a seamstress for the stars (Elvis Presley, Fats Domino, Chuck Berry, etc) in the 50's. She eventually got an opportunity to make more money but she had to move West to Inglewood Ca.

My dad said he hated the idea of living on the West Coast because he wasn't going to be able to watch the Dodgers or go to Ebbets. He said he also hated the idea of being the only Puerto Rican family in a Jewish neighborhood... lol..(now, that neighborhood is strictly Black and Hispanic).. My dad said he fell in love with California, the weather, and once he found out the Dodgers were moving West he couldn't believe how lucky he was. We are all Dodgers fans in our family, Hasta la Muerte!!!!
